CMM Boasts Digital Integration, and Delivers Speed, Precision and Scalability

The Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence division has introduced Maestro, a next-generation coordinate measuring machine (CMM) featuring modular software and hardware and designed to scale with evolving production needs. Its newly developed digital architecture incorporates digital sensors, a single cable system, and a new controller with new firmware that promise to streamline the measurement operation and ensure future-ready connectivity.

Maestro delivers high throughput through high-speed motion via synchronised axis movements, rapid calibration and cloud-connected software, all acting to accelerate setup, programming, execution and reporting. The technology also reportedly simplifies CMM programming and streamlines workflows. An intuitive user interface, combined with next-generation cloud-native metrology apps powered by Hexagon’s Nexus platform, enable expert metrologists and less-specialised staff to generate repeatable, standard-compliant measurements without the need for coding. 

Maestro integrates into Hexagon’s Nexus ecosystem, sharing real-time data across design, production and quality teams, thus driving data-driven decision-making and improving overall equipment effectiveness. And, users can update software, sensors and additional capabilities over time, ensuring that the CMM remains future-proof and supports evolving production needs. 

Hexagon’s software tools and services, including PC-DMIS and the Metrology Mentor, Metrology Asset Manager and Metrology Reporting Nexus apps, were developed in tandem with Maestro to create an integrated system that boosts productivity from part loading to analysis, compared to isolated-component solutions.
